Janet Gail Day

Janet Gail (Harmon) Day, beloved wife, mother, and "Mamaw", passed away on February 20th,‬ ‭2025, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to family and friends.‬ ‭ She had a heart as bold as her favorite cherry apple red—the color of her first car, a 1969‬ ‭ Mustang, which she drove fearlessly into a new chapter of life in Columbus, Ohio from Martin‬ ‭County, Kentucky. A protector at heart, she was a mother to anyone who needed one. She‬ loved deeply, spoke her truth without hesitation, and found joy in dancing, singing karaoke, and‬ ‭ her favorite ice cream flavors.‬ ‭ 

Janet was born October 31st, 1948 to the late Oscar and Evelyn (Coleman) Harmon, and spent‬ ‭ her childhood in Pilgrim, Kentucky. She attended Morehead State University and retired from‬ ‭Discover Card Services in Columbus Ohio in 2008. She was preceded in death by her sisters‬ ‭ Emma Sue Butler and Lois Cassady, and her beloved son Benjamin, whom she missed dearly‬ ‭every day.‬ ‭ 

Janet is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, James Day of Grove City, Ohio; sons Brian‬ ‭ Day (Allison) of Canfield, Ohio and James Day (Susan) of Granville, Ohio; grandchildren‬ ‭ Kamrie Harvey (Katelyn) of Grove City, Ohio, Shelene, Joseph and Cecelia Day of Granville,‬ ‭Ohio, and Sienna, Greyson, and Stone Day of Canfield, Ohio; sister Diane Them of Mansfield,‬ ‭Ohio, brother Rocky Harmon (Teresa) of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and many nieces and‬ ‭nephews.‬ ‭ 

To know Janet was to love her, and her memory will be cherished. Those who wish to celebrate‬ ‭her life may do so on TUESDAY, February 26th at RADER-MCDONALD-TIDD Funeral Home, 1355 W.
